Creating a new thread after a very very long time it seems, because I was searching for the Audio section and it was nowhere to be found. [emoji16]
Coming to the matter at hand, I am using a very old laptop - the Haswell Lenovo G510. When recently, I tried using my KZ bluetooth earphones with it, I found out that the laptop was unable to support both audio stream through bluetooth and internet through WiFi, at the same time. Probably due to both of them being on the same chip and not having enough bandwidth.
So I bought the basic TPlink Bluetooth Adaptor - UB400 (https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07NQ5YGDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_zhF8Fb7TWA69N?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1).
After buying this, the KZ earphones started working even with internet, but sound quality is very bad and as is volume, despite the dongle showing connected via AptX.
Another issue, somewhat different, is that I am unable to use my Echo Dot as a Bluetooth speaker with this laptop. With the in-built bluetooth, the same issue arises of both audio and internet not working at the same time. With the dongle and installing the drivers and software, it connects with the Echo Dot but when showing the services connected, it doesn't allow the Echo Dot to serve as an A2DP sink and only as an A2DP source, which again defeats the purpose for me.
So what do I need?
1) Has anyone been able to use Echo Dot as a bluetooth speaker with a Windows 7 laptop/PC.
2) If not, then I need to buy 2 things -
a) A bluetooth adaptor for my laptop which allows streaming of audio at good quality and volume unlike the current adaptor, and
b) A bluetooth receiver(possibly one which works on a charger and not on battery) which I can connect to the 3.5mm cable of my Edifier C3.
Want to spend as less as I can without compromising on audio quality. Also would love this to work with the Echo Dot as that saves me money.
Edit - Was able to get this working with the Echo dot. Had accidentally switched on 'Content Protection' which was why it wasn't allowing the Echo Dot to work as a Bluetooth Headset, but it is working now. Audio quality and volume is still not good enough though, so looking for a solution for that.
